Data are regression coefficients for a 1-SD higher ln C-reactive protein (CRP), ln interleukin 6 (IL- 6), ln prostaglandin F2 ln α (PGF),ln serum amyloid protein A (SAA). Model A was adjusted for age; model B was adjusted according to directed acyclic graphs (DAG): age, BMI, smoking, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, LDL, HDL, and triglyceride, statin treatment, ACE inhibitor-, ASA-, anti-inflammation-, and cortisone medication. Model C was adjusted for: age, BMI, smoking, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment, LDL, HDL, and triglyceride, statin treatment, diabetes, ACE inhibitor-, ASA-, anti-inflammation-, and corticosteroid treatment, and CVD. * p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. *** p < 0.001.
